Abstract

A method of manufacturing a biological electrical stimulus cable. The method begins with a cable portion having a plurality of first conductive wires set into a length of insulative material. A portion of the insulative material is removed from the surface creating an exposed first wire surface. Then, a second conductive wire is connected to the exposed first wire surface and a preformed conductive ring is threaded onto the cable portion and electrically connected to the second conductive wire.
